Eight large asteroids March-June

We seem to have no less than at least eight asteroids one mile or so or bigger coming by us from now till middle of June. Some of these will be visible some won't but that's a fair amount of large one's in a short time.

1998 QE2 visit is on May 31.
Any chance to view it with 7X50 binoculars?

Possibly. I've seen 11-12th magnitude galaxies with my 15x70 Celestron's. This one is predicted to be from 9-10.5 give or take. Magnitude prediction is not always correct due to several factors including surface composition affecting brightness as well as rotation. I've photographed differences in up to .5 and even more in magnitude just due to the rotation. We've had nothing but rain and clouds here so I'll be lucky to get it. I tried to image it the other day but my alignment was off and I missed it. William

A 10X 50 binocular shows targets up to magnitude 8 (depending on observer's dark-adapted pupil).
My 45X 100 binocular shows targets up to magnitude 14
AstroPhotography (DSLR or webcam) is the way to go
